COUPLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COUPLING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a device and to a method for controlling a coupling system comprising a coupling provided with a hydraulic actuation system having an adjustable coupling part for connecting and separating a power transmission path between a coupling input side and a coupling output side, a hydraulic connection that connects the actuation unit to an electrohydraulic actuator that is arranged outside the coupling, and a control unit for controlling the actuator. Said hydraulic connection forms a hydraulic system together with hydraulic components of the actuation unit and the actuator. According to the invention, a mechanical stop that delimits the adjustment of the coupling part on the actuation unit is formed and means that monitor the pressure in the hydraulic system or a control signal of the actuator are provided, said means detecting an installation of the coupling part on the stop based on occurring characteristic alterations of the pressure in the hydraulic connection or the control signal and controls the electrohydraulic actuator in accordance therewith and/or produces a diagnosis signal.
